Killer looking Abrams! Welcome aboard. That's two from Florida in two days. Did the power just come back on?

Nice Abrams. Sorry, one little thing...the Vapor Compression Unit (VCU - A/C Compressor) in the rear turret bustle basket needs to be facing the other direction.

And for the TK16...here ya go:

Can't give any other advice than that as I don't use smokers at all. More trouble than they are worth IMO. Good luck figuring it out though.
